Speaker bio: J. Kenji López-Alt 

Hi everyone. I’m Kenji. I write books, including the James Beard Award-winning and bestselling cookbooks The Food Lab and The Wok, and the best-selling children’s book Every Night is Pizza Night. 

I’m also a New York Times food columnist, and the Chief Culinary Advisor for Serious Eats, home of the best, most thoroughly-tested and explained recipes and food features, well, pretty much anywhere. Additionally, I’m the the former chef and founding partner at Wursthall in San Mateo, a German-inspired California beer hall and restaurant. You can try some of my food there. I’m also a huge fan and partner at Backhaus, a San Mateo bakery specializing in naturally-leavened sourdough, pretzels, and European-style pastries. I live in Seattle with my children Alicia and Koji."  Find out more about J.
